Coach Talk

Henry’s cookies
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Henry’s cookies! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our wide receivers were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Our receiving corps produced only 10.7 points in Week 13. The pass-catchers on Run Kitty Run doubled us up with a score of 23.9. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Run Kitty Run
Unless Run Kitty Run wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" can't be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 12 catches.
